The Story of NW Tattoo Collective
My Roots
My Philosophy
My Philosophy
Starting over a decade ago, I set out to create every style of tattooing I could. No specialty other than making people feel more beautiful and awesome. I started tattooing in Kentucky but eventually brought my career to Washington State. I travel all over the country and have roots in many states. This is my passion, my journey, and my life.

My Philosophy
My Philosophy
Art tells stories, shows journeys, random tattoos just because, and shows healing from all walks of life.. I am here to create that for you. I have no style specialties because I always just wanted to get good at it all. I think ive accomplished that. Scroll through my portfolio and if you'd like to schedule shoot me a message! I have a link to schedule yourself if you don't want to wait!
